I'm a little confused about what you intend to do, or what you are currently doing. In general, you can usually only have one receiver controlling a dish. If you're using a
DiseqC switch in one room and are controlling the dish from another room, the only way I see that working is if you don't have access to the
C-band dish from the living room. The diseqC switch won't affect your ability to move the dish, however generally, you should have the switch after the motor. Like I have one receiver that connects to a motor, and then there is a switch that connects to 4 lnbfs, 2 on the motorized dish, and 2 other fixed dishes. But this switch is outside on the motorized dish. I can slave 4 different receivers from this setup, but only one receiver can control what sat/polarity I'm using. I have another C/Ku dish that is controlled by an analog receiver, and a DVB receiver is slaved off that, and has an inside diseqC switch that selects between C and Ku, and I can slave 2 other receivers off the DVB receiver, but only the analog receiver controlls the dish.
Anyway, not sure what you're trying to do.
